While having tea with my friend Old Chen, we talked about the recent trend of a certain coin. He leisurely sipped from his cup and said, "This whipsaw technique is exactly the same as that wave we had eight years ago."
I was taken aback for a moment and nodded with a smile. In the years of trading coins, I have seen too many of these acts: The K-line plummeted all the way, scaring retail investors into cutting losses and fleeing; the big players quietly bought in at low levels, waiting for everyone to run away before making another big surge. The "blood exchange" was performed cleanly and ruthlessly. On the surface, it seemed like the "main force was dumping goods," It's actually an old play repeating itself—it's not the big players who are dumping, it's you and me. Many people panic when they see a crash, thinking the market is about to collapse, and end up selling at the bottom. More people just got trapped and then added leverage to "average down", and the next bearish candle directly takes away their last breath. Old Chen lit a cigarette and smiled, saying: "Every time there is a Whipsaw, it tests human nature." The more I think about it, the more I agree with that statement. Market fluctuations are an illusion; human greed and fear are the real killers. What are the biggest fears of the market makers? It's not that someone can see through the candlestick chart, but that some people remain calm. They create fear with declines and wear down faith with consolidation. Only when retail investors give up do they truly start to feast. I have also been tricked by this kind of act. Back then, when ETH dropped from 300 to 180, I thought it was going to zero, and after selling, it directly bounced back to 350 in two days. At that moment I understood that what is called "Whipsaw" is the way the market makers use your emotions to buy at your bottom. Brothers remember: The true masters in the crypto world are not those who can predict price fluctuations, but those who can remain steady during a crash. It's not scary to be harvested by the big players; what's scary is forgetting the script every time — while the big players never change the script. Now I have come out, what about you? Ask yourself, do you want to be a leek for life? Or do you want to be the one who laughs last and wins?
